Tencel
What is it?
Tencel is a biodegradable fabric made from sustainably sourced wood. It’s renowned as a quality material for making textiles and for its outstanding sustainable credentials.
Wood takes far less water to produce than cotton, so its environmental impact is reduced from the outset.

How to care for it
Was in a machine at a medium setting and hang to dry. Tencel is resistant to wrinkles. If any wrinkles appear, we recommend steaming for the best and safest finish. To iron, hover over the item using the steam setting, or press using a warm setting.

Compost
The Tencel Factory
To make Tencel, wood is collected from sustainably managed forests and then processed into a useable fibre in an efficient, closed-loop process that uses significantly less water and emits much less carbon than traditional textile production. This makes it one of the most sustainable fibres available today.
